I felt like I was the mother in that chair. He explained everything so well. You can see that he is passionate about his job. I would love a pediatrician like this for my child . Good job Doc.
Great question. Does starting solids cause any changes or decline in breast milk? My daughter just went for her 4 month checkup and the doctor did not mention cereal at all. She was talking about fruits and veggies. Should I start cereals before anything else?
My son was ready for solids at 4-5 months, he would lick his lips and cry if we didn’t give him a taste of food here and there lol. He’s 13 months now and has a BIG appetite and eats EVERYTHING! Lol 😂
Hi doctor, my baby is 3 months 20 days old and I think she is so intersting in sitting up. But I don't know is it the right time for me to teach her sit up or not? Please, can you tell me the signs that shows a baby is ready for sitting and how to teach her sit up from advoiding any injuries? I am so afraid if I make her spine injury. Thanks in advance.
My baby have good head control when he is doing tummy time but his head fall down when he is sitting on my lap. He is almost 5 months. So maybe I will hold off on the solid
Good question momma! That’s exactly why I was searching these videos because I wasn’t sure how many times a day I could try solids and if I needed to breastfeed before or afterwards. Thanks for the video!
Doctor, what about sterilization? Do the cups/spoons etc need to be sterilized? Do the fruit need to be steamed? If not, is there any point to maintain the sterilization of the milk bottles? Thank you
gemablg NA excellent question!! The quick answer is no but this is a great topic for a new video. I haven’t made new videos for a while and this will be my next :) thank you, Dr Tahir
We can use water in baby’s cereal, isn’t water bad for them at least that’s what my baby’s pediatrician said for her to stay away from water until she’s a little older my baby is 4months or it’s okay bc she’s not drinking water alone but being mixed in her oatmeal?
Wonderful video. My baby just turn 4 months. However, we always had a feeding problem because of my oversupply of breast milk which causes her to choke and vomit during feedings, no matter what position we placed her in. She also refuses bottles. I tried spoon-feeding, cup feeding and syringe feeding her as well when she was younger but it didn't worked. However, i tried spoon-feeding this morning and she was more willing to take it from the spoon for a good while before she started fussing. I think i will add a little rice cereal to my breastmilk and spoon feed her just to see if it will help better with feedings. Thanks so much🥰
Please don't start ur baby on rice cereal, start on baby oatmeal cereal .. to avoid constipation.. ( small amounts tsp a day) after 7 months try a lil rice but oatmeal is healthier.. Most Dr say start solids at 6mo also.. be cautious..
Berlinda's Food 4 The Soul Ford that’s weird my nephew got extremely complicated on oatmeal cereal but was perfectly fine on rice cereal.. my daughters pediatrician recommended rice first then stage 1 baby food and I just had my daughters 4 month appointment today
Amber Belton wow O_0 I agree that is weird & (be sure he's getting enough fluid on whatever she feed him).. some babies are able to digest Rice sooner than others BUT when it comes to constipation studies show rice thickens stool which is why pediatricians recommended Rice for diarrhea. Also rice is just an empty starch but oatmeal has some nutritional value which is why I choose it for my little one. I will give rice a try around 8 months.
My ped recommended rice cereal for my son at 4 months and it worked out great. Breast fed for an entire year. Never had any constipation or issues and now eats everything in sight lol. Every baby is different. And it’s only a recommendation, not gospel.
No. Oatmeal cereal at 4 months old will CAUSE constipation. Rice cereal is lighter and easier on the belly, and it doesn't have oats that a 4 month old baby's stomach cannot digest well, which is what causes the constipation. This is terrible advice to give to people.
He is so nice and explains everything perfectly. Way better than the PAs where I’m at. Where I’m from it feels like the PAs just rush thru their patients to get thru their day
I wish I had this Dr. So passionate for his profession! My son is 4 months and a week, can sit with assistance, keeps head straight, shows a lot of interest when he sees us eating and wants to put everything in his mouth. However, when asked my Dr. He immediately said no and didn't care for anything that I said.
This was satisfying to watch! Love the homemade, store bought look! How old was your son when you started? My son is almost 5 months and gonna start solids soon.
I think its different for different babies. My son completely refused solids till 7 months. My daughter now 4 months n she is super into solid foods however still dont know how poop time will be becz my son despite rejecting solids he also had constipation every time he had abit. So fingers crossed 🤞
For breakfast lunch and dinner if you feed the baby formula or best milk wouldn't she be full? How would that leave any room for solid food... I'm confused.
This was all explained very well. My 4mo is underweight and doctor suggested I start solids. But the recent studies show that rice cereal have arsenic. What can be a good substitute to rice cereal to start with?
@@KidsHealthByDrTahir thank you Doctor.. I was looking if you have a video on cradle cap? My baby has a patch it’s mild but it’s been there since birth.
This helpful. My baby watches us anytime we eat. More like watches our food as we put it into our mouths. My baby has even stop eating his bottle to watch me eat while laying back. Im so excited to not feed bottles constantly. And sharing my food.
Thank you for this video ❤️ my pediatrician told me to start fruits and veggies purée right off the bat 🙃 no explanation after I asked how to transition from formula
we just gave our 5 month old rice cereal this morning and our first question was, how long do we give him this rice cereal and how much?! this video added so many answers for us! thank you
Thank you so much for the info. I have started to feed my 4 month old and I have used stage 1 banana with some breast milk mixed until it's kinda runny . Is this bad ? Should I stop and do rice cereal? Also should I leave the banana by itself and not make it runny ? Thanks again for the information.
Thank you for the video , I have one question … would it be ok if I feed my baby moringa leaf powder in small amount like tea spoon ? I know some people in my neighborhood do this ,they add tea spoon of moringa leaf powder in every baby food .
Can I ask if the baby turn into 4 mos then he never breast feed is it ok to feed here like solid food.? Then what kind of food should I give here in the first feed? Thank you
Are 4 month old babies' digestive systems ready for solid foods? I always thought that was the reason for waiting until 6 months. But apparently, neck strength is the indicator.
Which one is better for 4.5 month baby, rice or oat meal? Just yesterday i have introduced gerber supported seater to my baby and he was enjoyed. Please clear me regarding this issue. Should i continue or change to another?
This was helpful! My son has his 4 month appointment tomorrow and we will see if his doctor says it's ok for him to start solids. I'd like to do rice cereal for a few weeks and then move to another food. He was born at 37 weeks so I was worried that would be an issue but we will see and I'm so excited!
Hi! My son was born at 37 weeks. He’s 4 months old. And it’s been two day I’ve started giving him the Cow&Gate rice cereal. I was worried as well as I thought that he won’t be ready what if he’ll vomit all of it. But no he was ready he was showing sign especially when we used to eat sth infront of him. He loves his Cereal. So don’t worry give it a try. I hope your son will love it. xx
I fed my first babies solids between 3-5 months. All babies are different and ready at different times. Just like this guy say, they need to head good head control. I mixed a little rice cereal with baby foods.
vivthetartan well we are just going to have to agree to disagree, I started solids on all three of my children at 3 months and table food around 7 or 8 months. But that's what I chose to do
